Software Engineering Interview Experience - Raleigh, North Carolina

I submitted my application online and heard from a recruiter within three days.
We scheduled a phone interview, which consisted of only behavioral questions – nothing too challenging.
About a week later, we scheduled a final round interview in Raleigh, NC. I interviewed with four different team members and wrote whiteboard code for each of them. The problems were simple, but finding the optimal solution was tricky.

Microsoft Work Experiences
- 5.0Great Culture, Variable TeamsSoftware Engineering • Former EmployeeRedmond, Washington, United StatesJune 15, 2015Pros: Good corporate culture. Good compensation. Good perks. A 9-5 job. It might not be as fancy as other tech companies right now, but there are no crazy hours or expectation to stay long hours. The culture is relatively open as well.Cons: Typical big company problems. Difficult transparency to higher levels. Some decisions don't make sense to lower-level employees. Experience can vary extremely between teams – hugely! I cannot emphasize this enough. One team may have a very strict, no-nonsense culture; another might be completely different.

With such a large user base, you can have a huge impact.Cons: No free food. The red tape around getting paid, benefits, and infrastructure in general can be pretty terrible. It gets better after the first few weeks.
